John Rodosevich Obituary

Goodbye to a Leader and a Friend

Our club, the Insulin Pumpers Support Group, is here  today—for us—because  John Rodosevich led the way. Thanks, John, for all you did. We’ll do our best to carry on…

John Rodosevich, 69 years old, was a father, husband, retired mechanical engineer and generous-spirited supporter of people with diabetes on insulin pumps. He died September 5 in hospital surrounded by his family.

John was born in Colorado and grew up in Wyoming where for 12 years he attended St. Stephens School on an Indian reservation. He was the oldest of six children; his father was a printer and his mother a teacher.

He attended Seattle University and retired from the South Bay Power Plant five years ago. He also worked for Dynergy, on the Exxon Valdez cleanup, and on soil reclamation projects in Newfoundland.

John developed Type 1 diabetes at age 18 and in 1982 became one of the first people to wear an insulin pump. He quickly organized The San Diego Insulin Pumpers support group in 1983, which he ran for almost 30 years. At the monthly meetings, he brought in speakers from medicine and industry to teach pumpers and their loved ones about diabetes and the technology that supported them, as well as providing a comfortable environment for sharing experiences with diabetes. He also researched and wrote a lively monthly newsletter that he sent to his extensive mailing list of pump wearers and health care providers.

John also provided care, assistance, and support in clean-ups and housing repair for flood disaster victims throughout the country. He supported and judged high school science and robotics competitions in San Diego. He loved gardening, flowers, music, dancing, and kite flying.

John is survived by his wife Maricela; three children, Angela, Peter, and Eileen; five grandchildren; a nephew and wife, Rickie and Kathleen Soto and their three children. In addition, survivors are his five siblings, Jim, Mary Rose, Iris, Carol, and Anna.

His memorial service will be held October 1 at 11:00 at St. Martins of Tours Church, 7710 El Cajon Blvd, La Mesa, CA 91942.

All pumpers, companions, and friends welcome!

Don't Miss the SEPTEMBER meeting of the San Diego Insulin Pumpers!!!

THIS MONTH: What's New from the AADE Conference
MEETING TIME:  Monday, September 12th, 7:00-8:30pm
LOCATION:  Sharp Medical Facility
8695 Spectrum Centre Blvd, Room 186
  
THIS MONTH:  Joann Shartel, CDE will have the latest news from the AADE conference last month. She will also speak on the new methods to manage diabetes vs the way we used to. Bring your questions Joann is a wealth of information.  Andrea Ross from AgaMatrix will give a brief presentation on a new meter before Joann.

LAST MONTH: Matthew Schoenherr, Exercise Physiologist, spoke to us on how exercise affects our body and our diabetes.  He gave some guidelines to use when exercising to prevent lows and highs.  Matthew recommends eating carbs to maintain blood sugars with short term activity (less than 90 minutes). For more intense activity, decrease your basil rate 2 hours in advance of the activity and plan to refuel every 20-30 minutes. It is important with intense activity to eat within 20 minutes of ending to replenish muscle stores.  

The duration and intensity of the exercise are 2 important factors when deciding what to do.  We will post the key slides from his presentation on our website.  The most important point is RECORD EVERYTHING! :) Because these are GENERAL guidelines aka a good starting point. Everyone's needs are different and can change from week to week

All pumpers, companions, and friends welcome!

Don't Miss the AUGUST meeting of the San Diego Insulin Pumpers!!!

THIS MONTH: Managing Diabetes When Exercising
MEETING TIME:  Monday, August 8th, 7:00-8:30pm
LOCATION:  Sharp Medical Facility
8695 Spectrum Centre Blvd, Room 186

THIS MONTH:  Exercise is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But, it is also an added and sometimes confusing variable to diabetes control. Matthew Schoenherr, Sharp Hospital Exercise Physiologist will review the effects of exercise related to insulin users and add simple decision making tools to successfully manage diabetes and exercise.

LAST MONTH: We had a lively discussion about insurance plans and coverage.  When anything changes with your insurance (company or plan, supplier of diabetes products) find out what is covered before you order and end up having to pay for items you thought were covered or embroiled in a frustrating battle with your insurance company.

^^^^^PLEASE READ PAST THE FIRST PAGE TO LEARN ABOUT FUTURE PROGRAMS. Details of studies and other diabetes information of interest will now be on our website ^^^^^sdinsulinpumpers.blogspot.com).^^^^^
